For anyone who loves the world hidden under the sea, Oceanarium is the book for you. Designed as a virtual museum, there are eight sections to explore: plankton, cnidaria, molluscs and echinoderms, arthropods, fish, mammals, birds and reptiles.

You will also learn about the importance of the ocean as a resource to humans. From the life the ocean supports at the surface to the multitude of ecosystems in the deepest reaches, you are welcomed in to explore this paper museum. Whichever section you stumble upon as you open up this book, the diverse shapes and details of ocean life are a marvel as seen through the informative annotated illustrations.

Author and marine biologist Trinick and illustrator White combine their talents to focus on the elaborate details of nature. Each sentence is carefully worded to incorporate a mesmerising fact or stat, with a 50/50 split of information and imagery beautifully complementing each other. It’s a wonderful substitute for a visit to a real oceanarium.
